All the new attention has led to some surprising fan encounters, Scott also revealed.

“Weirdly, it’s actually the husbands and boyfriends that come up to me,” he explained. “I was in the park going over my lines and this little man was just standing staring at me. Eventually he said, ‘My wife really fancies you, can I have a selfie?’ He had a mop in one hand and when we had taken the photo he just carried on staring while making the mop jiggle around. I wondered if the mop was his ‘wife’? It was really weird.”
